Vizag to Implement AI-Based Traffic Management Under Project Sarathi

Vizag: The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has given the green signal for implementing Project Sarathi, an AI-powered Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) aimed at making traffic management in Visakhapatnam smarter, faster, and more efficient.

The project will be implemented jointly by GVMC and the Visakhapatnam City Police with the objective of improving traffic movement at major junctions across the city using Artificial Intelligence.

Key Highlights

• AI-based traffic analysis for better traffic management.
• Real-time monitoring of traffic conditions across major junctions.
• Intelligent signal optimization to reduce congestion.
• Vehicle movement monitoring using advanced technology.
• Improved junction management through data-driven decision-making.
• Faster response to traffic congestion and incidents.

Project Review at Police Command and Control Centre

A detailed review meeting was held at the Police Command and Control Centre, where representatives from Keltron, the ITMS developer, presented the project design.

The presentation covered:

• AI-powered traffic analysis
• Intelligent traffic signal management
• Vehicle movement monitoring
• Real-time traffic surveillance
• Signal optimization techniques
• Overall implementation strategy for Project Sarathi

Joint Field Inspection at Maddilapalem Junction

Following the presentation, GVMC Commissioner and Visakhapatnam City Police Commissioner, along with senior officials, conducted a joint field inspection at Maddilapalem Junction.

Officials directly reviewed:

• Existing traffic flow
• Junction management
• Proposed AI-based monitoring system
• Technical feasibility of the new ITMS
• Traffic signal performance and optimization

The inspection focused on assessing how AI-based solutions can improve traffic efficiency at one of Vizag’s busiest intersections before expanding the system to other major junctions across the city.

Project Sarathi is expected to play a significant role in enhancing road safety, minimizing traffic congestion, and supporting Visakhapatnam’s vision of becoming a smarter and technology-driven city.
